About This Medication

# LOQTORZI Solutions Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Loqtorzi (toripalimab-tpzi) at Low or No Cost Loqtorzi (toripalimab-tpzi) is an FDA-approved immunotherapy for adults with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a type of head and neck cancer. The **LOQTORZI Solutions Patient Assistance Program** from **Coherus Biosciences** provides **Loqtorzi at no cost** to eligible uninsured or functionally underinsured patients facing financial hardship.[1][5] ## About Loqtorzi (toripalimab-tpzi) Loqtorzi is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with **nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)**, which affects the nasopharynx (upper part of the throat behind the nose). It works as an immune checkpoint inhibitor, helping your immune system fight cancer cells.[3][8] **Approved uses:** - In combination with **cisplatin and gemcitabine** as **first-line treatment** for **metastatic or recurrent, locally advanced NPC**. - As a **single agent** for **recurrent unresectable or metastatic NPC** after disease progression on or after platinum-containing chemotherapy.[2][3][5] **How it's given:** Loqtorzi is administered as an **IV infusion** (through a vein) by a nurse at your doctor's office or infusion center. Treatment often starts with 6 cycles of Loqtorzi plus chemotherapy every 3 weeks, followed by Loqtorzi alone (chemo-free) for up to 24 months if effective.[8] **Important safety note:** Loqtorzi can cause serious side effects like immune-related problems (e.g., lung, liver, or thyroid issues), infusion reactions, or Guillain-Barré syndrome. Your doctor will monitor you closely and may adjust treatment.[8][9] Always discuss with your oncologist if Loqtorzi is right for you. ## Who Qualifies for the Program? This program is for **uninsured** or **functionally underinsured** patients (those with insurance that doesn't adequately cover Loqtorzi, but **not** government-funded like Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or TRICARE).[1][5][7] You must meet **all** criteria: - US resident, age 18+. - Under care of a US-licensed provider in an outpatient setting. - Diagnosis and dosing match FDA-approved indications (or provider deems medically necessary).[5] - **Adjusted annual household income ≤500% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**.[5][10] - Provide income proof or consent to credit check; sign consent form.[5] **Note:** Program covers only the drug cost, not administration or office visits. Not valid where prohibited; Coherus may change/terminate anytime.[5] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Eligibility is based on **household size** and **adjusted annual income** at or below **500% FPL**. Use the table below for 2026 guidelines (FPL updates annually; verify current at [healthcare.gov](https://www.healthcare.gov)). | Household Size | Max Annual Income (500% FPL) | |----------------|------------------------------| | 1 (Individual) | $73,950 | | 2 (Couple) | $100,000 | | 3 | $126,050 | | 4 | $152,100 | | +1 per member | +$26,050 | *Examples: A single person earning ≤$73,950 qualifies; a family of 4 ≤$152,100. Include all household income (taxable + some nontaxable). Deduct certain expenses for 'adjusted' income.*[5][10] ## Insurance Requirements - **Eligible:** Uninsured or **functionally underinsured** (high copays/deductibles make Loqtorzi unaffordable, but no government coverage).[1][5] - **Not eligible:** Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, VA, TRICARE, or other government programs.
